  1. How do they know the number of flu cases? I have never seen an actual flu test.
  2. so went in to get a drink but did not bring his wallet in? How was he going to pay?
  3. Up to you. That is less than $1,000 USD a month. Straightup girlfriends do cost anywhere in the world assuming you treat them, take out, travel, and whatever. Are you being played? Possibly. Unless she lives with you and see here day to day activities all the time it is possible she has more than one benefactor. That certainly is not unheard of. Are you getting what you paid for? Again, up to you to decide.
  4. I used an agent once in Pattaya to get a 30 day extension to my visa exempt. It was my second visit to Thailand and Asia and I was less than sure of the process and forms and Jomtien etc. Which agent I used I don't remember. It may have been the old Key Visa? Gave em my passport, answered a few questions, one form or whatever. Paid what I thought was a reasonable fee for the convenience of them doing this. The next day I went back to the agent office and picked up my passport. I didn't see anything wrong or improper or skirting of any rules. Maybe things are different now and the immigration people want to see you in person, or things like this can't be done by proxy or by a runner, but not from what I have heard
  5. 21 is her metric age. convert that to English units and you get 46?
  6. She may move from hotel to hotel and was checking out of the initial one so took all her stuff with her.
  7. I still am unsure what an "Air Hostess" is? Is that the flight attendant on board the plane? Is that somebody that works in one of the airside lounges?
  8. I suspect that getting such a certificate will not be too difficult. Probably get it from the same place you get your cialis prescription!
  9. I like that idea. And on some days if I don't go and pick up the paper I would have no problem if she sold the delivered paper and kept the proceeds. I assume you mean the paper would get delivered to that newsstand? As I may change hotels I would want a central permanent place the paper gets sent to
  10. I always got the daily paper when I visit. Do the daily sudoku. Kill some time in the mall while I grab a lunch or at Took La De or pizza hut or KISS. Lady used do sell the paper next to KISS across from Mike's Mall in that little covered area
  11. The only thing that is more expensive as far as I have ever experienced going back to 2004 which was the first of my 15 trips was eating all western food. Sure there is a Tony Roma's in Bangkok. A hard rock cafe in Pattaya and things like that. But lots of Thai rice and noodle and soup dishes and some occasional German food or a Full English Breakfast now and then along with a Sunday Carvery now and then as well as the specials that Robins Nest used to have such as the Lasagna, suited me just fine, A nice sized 40 or even 50 sq meter condo rents for about 1/2 of a similar thing here in many parts of the USA. My health insurance is now on Medicare so I am paying that regardless of me spending long term in Thailand so that doesn't count in my cost equation. Costs for touristy things like visiting parks, gardens, zoos, etc. are comparable or cheaper in Thailand than in the USA. Certainly are cheaper when you look at what they now charge to go to big corporate places such as Disney world, Universal world, tec. The Dallas Texas zoo was very reasonably priced as is the fantastic San Diego Zoo. Nong Nooch Garden just outside of Pattya is reasonable. I miss the old Dusit zoo in bangkok. That was like an oasis. Yes foreign wine or other hard liquor can add up but I rarely drink that. So if I were to pull up stakes and totally move to Thailand, it would cost me about 25% less of what very similar living and eating here in the USA, and would go down from there if I was really penny pinching. Basically I plan for $3,000 a month, budget for $4,000 a month, can afford $5,000 a month.
  12. Even though it was supposed to be a short trip, she may always take all her stuff with her if she stays in different hotels and had not real permanent lodging in Thailand?
  13. Yeah. Her story is very hard to believe. And her words saying that people were supposed to meet her in Sri Lanka? What people? Two or three suitcase for a short trip? The weight of the cases. The clothes change or not from the night before. I can almost believe her taking all her belongings as she checked out of where she was staying in Thailand and she takes all her belongings with her. I have not checked in any luggage in decades since I had my old American Tourister hard luggage. Remember that old TV commercial with the porter taking the suitcase then he turns into a gorilla and tosses the case all around inside the elevator! Too funny. But that did have a lock and while easy to break open, I always locked my case and I would know if somebody broke into it.
  14. Goodness. She is having troubles? What nonsense.
  15. All the bars now close at midnight? I used to go to Pattaya a lot (15 trips since 2004).
